The Remote calendar {% term integration %} allows you to read a calendar in Home Assistant for powering automations.
Known limitations
The integration does not provide the ability to connect to an resource that requires authentication or special headers.
Installation instructions
{% include integrations/config_flow.md %}
Please provide the following information to the config flow.
{% configuration_basic %}
Calendar Name:
description: "A name for your calendar, you can choose a name you want.
Example: Home Assistant Events"
Calendar URL:
description: "The URL of the remote calendar. Example: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/p07n98go11onamd08d0kmq6jhs%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics"
{% endconfiguration_basic %}
Data updates
At the start of the integration, we fetch data from the remote. If the update fails, the integration tries again to fetch the data. After that, the update interval of the calendar is set to every 24 hours.
Defining a custom polling interval
{% include common-tasks/define_custom_polling.md %}
Supported functionality
The integration only supports reading a calendar. A calendar entity has a state and attributes that represent the next upcoming event (only). All the events of the calendar can be displayed in the Calendar dashboard.
Calendar Event Automations
Individual Calendar Events are what powers automations such as:
- Notify me 12 hours before the start of the event named Garbage collection.
See Calendar Automations for an overview, and read more about Calendar Trigger Variables for the available information you can use in a condition or action such as the event summary, description, location and more.
Removing the integration
This integration follows standard integration removal. No extra steps are required.
